You can use these templates as they are or customize them to create a more unique design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wix site builder is very intuitive and easy to use for beginners, and yet it offers a lot of flexibility for those who want more control over how their site looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Wix you don\u2019t need to worry about buying web hosting or installing software, you just sign up and go. So it\u2019s one of the easiest ways to get started online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get started and build your first website on Wix for free. Wix free sites are given a Wix subdomain (like websitenewbie.wixsite.com) and have Wix brand ads on them<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to remove the ads and use your own domain (like \u201cmywebsite.com\u201d) or set up an online shop, you\u2019ll need to pay for one of the premium packages starting from $4.50 a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the other great features you get with Wix include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An AI site tool that will create a unique web design for you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manage everything in one place including hosting, security, email, and analytics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to a comprehensive knowledgebase, with a support team on hand when you get stuck<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tools for SEO, email, and social media marketing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integration with over 250 apps to add extra functionality to your site<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Wix is a great solution if you want a quick and easy \u201chands-off\u201d way of building a website. It can be used to build:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Personal sites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business sites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Online stores<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Galleries and portfolios<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Membership sites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Booking sites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Event sites with ticket sales<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Music or video sites with membership or digital product sales<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restaurant sites with reservations and online ordering<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Wix isn\u2019t the best choice for everyone. If you want full control and flexibility over your site or you\u2019re building a large or complex site, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/how-to-make-a-website\/\">building a site with WordPress<\/a> might be a better option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure which platform is best for you? Take a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/is-wix-or-wordpress-a-better-choice-for-building-websites\/\">detailed comparison of Wix and WordPress<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, if you\u2019re ready to give Wix a try, let\u2019s get started!

This is quite a handy feature to get you started if you just don\u2019t have a clue what to write on your site, and of course you can edit it as much as you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not going to go into every single thing you can do with the editor, but you should now have a pretty good idea of how to customize different elements of your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get stuck at any time, just click the help button that appears when you click on any element and you\u2019ll be taken directly to a relevant article on the help center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wix also has a library of videos that talk you through all features of the site builder and how to make any customizations you wish.

If you want to remove the Wix ads, use your own domain or have functionality like an online store, you\u2019ll have to upgrade. You can do this at any time by clicking the \u201cupgrade\u201d link in the main menu of the site builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Premium plans range from $4.50 to $24.50 a month for basic sites (note, the cheapest package includes Wix ads) or from $17 to $35 a month for a business or eCommerce site that takes online payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"494\" src=\"https:\/\/mk0designbombsg12amh.kinstacdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wix-premium-plans-1024x494.png\" alt=\"Wix premium plans\" class=\"wp-image-32476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wix-premium-plans-1024x494.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wix-premium-plans-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wix-premium-plans-768x370.png 768w, https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wix-premium-plans.png 1219w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All yearly and unlimited accounts at Wix are currently 50% off so it\u2019s a great time to sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from upgrading your site, you\u2019ll find most of the other options for managing your site under the \u201cSettings\u201d link in the main menu of the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve set up your site, you probably won\u2019t need to change much apart from making slight edits to text or adding a new page every now and again.
